About

This is uncontrolled, interventional feasibility study for determining the effects medical music on anxiety levels in subjects with ILD. Enrolled subjects will be asked to complete questionnaires and undergo physiologic measurements prior to listening to medical music. The music intervention will be for approximately 30 minutes. Post intervention questionnaires and physiologic measurements will be done.

Full description

The Medical Music intervention includes playlists that contains songs specifically designed, recorded, and optimized through the provisionally-patented methods, to treat their co-morbid anxiety. The duration of the medical music playlist is 30 minutes.

Enrolled subjects will be asked to complete questionnaires to assess anxiety, a questionnaire related to their music preferences, and undergo physiological measurements (vital signs, galvanic skin response, and heart rate variability) before and after the intervention.
